2015 Map of Melvin Village

About this map

Melvin Village and the northeastern shores of Lake Winnipesaukee dominate this survey, capturing the region's character as a hub for both lakeside recreation and highland agriculture. The landscape transitions sharply from the complex archipelago of the lake—featuring Whortleberry Island, Melvin Island, and Black Island—to the high peaks of the Ossipee Mountains in the north. Settlement is concentrated along the shoreline at points like State Landing and Union Wharf, while the interior near Center Tuftonboro maintains a more traditional rural layout. Genealogy and local history are well-represented by several family and community burial grounds, including Edgerly Cem, Bodge Cem, and Town Hall Cem. The map even notes the route of the M/V Sophie C Ferry, a reminder of the enduring importance of waterborne transport in this corner of New Hampshire.
